Scams are on the rise, with older Americans emerging as top fraud targets. Scammers are increasingly using high-tech methods, often backed by organized crime syndicates or adversarial nations. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has warned against a fake India Post SMS scam, urging users to avoid sharing personal details. In Mumbai, a railway official was duped of Rs 9 lakh by cyber fraudsters posing as CBI officers and a judge. BOOM has launched a new initiative, ScamCheck, to protect individuals from online theft and impersonation. The rise in scams is particularly concerning as the population ages, with seniors being specifically targeted. Additionally, UPI scams are becoming more prevalent.
